Highly recommend!! Derek was awesome and super helpful throughout the process. He helped us customize our ceremony just right! Derek was proactive, responsive, and knowledgeable. Whatever your vision is for you ceremony, he will help you make it happen!

Derek was a joy to work with from start to finish. He was very communicative and reached out regularly throughout the planning process. He responded quickly to any questions we had and had plenty of vendor recommendations. He guided us through the process of cultivating a ceremony that perfectly reflected us as a couple.
We cannot recommend having Derek officiate your wedding enough! He was beyond helpful before and on the wedding day, even going so far as to get us each a drink right after the ceremony! He made sure we were taken care of and worry free on our wedding day.
We are so appreciative and grateful to have had Derek on our wedding day!

We hired Rev. Derek Dube sort of last minute for our [COVID] Wedding. Finding an officiant that was just right for US proved to be more difficult than we expected; we both consider ourselves religious, Christian, but are not current members of any one Church. One phone call meeting with Derek and we looked each other in the eyes with undoubted confirmation- he was the one to marry us. It didn't stop there- not only did Derek display the utmost level of professionalism, but was able to customize our Ceremony and his script for it just exactly to US and our beliefs, love, lives and personalities! We are blown away with the attention to detail, attentive care and service that was provided to us by Rev. Derek. Amidst a crazy time for any wedding planning {much less one during a pandemic}, where every last detail came down to the wire, our ceremony planning was a great sigh of relief knowing that Derek had all handled. Gentle reminders when we were distracted with life and planning, and incredible responsiveness when ever we did need something; Derek and WWM check ALL of the boxes. For a seamless and relaxed experience that will portray your love for each other to your guests, this is THE option for wedding officiant! Than you, Derek, and WWM, for creating the perfect, and BEST Day EVER <3

Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2020
First of all - I was blown away by the two of you and the awesome mutual respect and understanding that you have for each other. In the short time we had to work together, I was very impressed with the input from both of you regarding what you ...
wanted in your ceremony. Your family had only the utmost positive communication to share with me. I do admit this summer was a bit crazy and frustrating at times but you both handled it with patience, grace and commitment. Thank you for your input and the fun we had customizing your ceremony. Having Blake (your dog) as the ring bearer was a total home run - everyone enjoyed it! The venue you chose - Eden For Two - was spectacular and I cannot wait to see the photos of your wedding celebration. Love and blessings to both of you as you begin this new adventure together.
Any questions?

My husband (Matt) and I cannot say enough nice things about Derek! He was so wonderful overall and we would recommend him in a heartbeat. Derek is easy to work with and made our day so special. He is very thoughtful, even to the point of grabbing Matt and I something to drink during our seemingly endless family photos after the ceremony :) He is very genuine, kind, and detail-oriented. Derek kept us in the loop along the way and provided us with lots of great information to help us craft the perfect ceremony and what to expect with marriage licenses, etc. We could not have done it without him and are so happy to have had Derek there! Thank you, Derek, and you won't be sorry you booked him for your big day.

Derek was great at keeping in contact with us throughout the whole process. He sent samples of ceremonies, reminded us of things we needed to do and when (like apply for a marriage license!), and conducted our rehearsal and ceremony with professionalism and the right amount of humor and personality.

Derek was everything we wanted in an officiant for our wedding! We wanted to create a ceremony that was uniquely ours and showed our strong faith (but combined the backgrounds of our families). Derek was so easy to work with in making this happen! When we met with him, we felt confident that he would lead the ceremony that we dreamed of! From there, he was eager to correspond with us to make sure everything was flawless (which put my Type A personality at ease). He showed great professionalism in coordinating our rehearsal with a HUGE wedding party (26 people including flower girls and ring bearers) and working with the venue. Lastly, our wedding day was spectacular! Derek provided us with the most beautiful ceremony we could have imagined! We could not have been more pleased with the personal and professional service Derek gave us!

Derek was the only officiant we met with, and we knew we wanted to hire him before the meeting was over. He was very flexible with our ceremony wording. He sent us several different ceremonies and let us choose and edit them as we wanted. He was also really patient when it took us longer than expected to get our wording back to him - a major plus when we were stressing about every other aspect of the wedding! The ceremony was one of our favorite parts of our wedding day!
